Sinead O’Connor fumes about Miley on ‘The Late Late Show’

Sinead O’Connor has made an appearance on ‘The Late Late Show’ in Ireland to talk about her continuing concern for pop star Miley Cyrus.

The singer also raged against ‘X Factor’ judges for “murdering music.

O’Connor has written open letters to Cyrus this past week, the first expressed motherly concern, but after being seemingly mocked by Cyrus on Twitter for her past mental health issues, O’Connor picked up her pen again to write more letters defending herself and decrying Cyrus’ behavior.

Last night on ‘The Late Late Show’ O’Connor said: “I'm not dismissing the records, they are great records. Miley's records are great records. What I feel is that the industry of music does exploit people who are possibly a little too young to know what they are doing.

“I'm asking whether it's appropriate for 20-year-old women to lick sledgehammers for videos in songs which have no lyrical reference to any such thing in them. It's an exploitation of someone too young to understand the dangers.”

As for the state of music today, O’Connor said: “I feel sorry for the murder of music and rock 'n' roll, which has happened because of the industry. Because of Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh. They've murdered music. I stand to say it on behalf of every musician in the world and they'll agree with me.

“The industry has taken over so much, the money-making side of it, that the sexualising of extremely young people making records, and all the worship with money and bling and diamonds, all the Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh - it all amounts to the murder of music and that's what concerns me.”
